Right on the Debian Kernel Handbook they tell you you may use "initramfs hooks" for such things: https://kernel-team.pages.debian.net/kernel-handbook/ch-update-hooks.html#s-initramfs-hooks even though I couldn't find exactly the "/etc/initramfs/post-update.d/" directory used by update-initramfs for post update hook options, I notice what seems to be a bunch of those in: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/ lbrtchx
